A hearing was held on Monday, May 22 as the latest effort to avoid a Special Session and push through what’s known as Education Savings Accounts.
During the hearing, it was pointed out that school districts, represented by many on the committee, have funding deficits, some even closings schools.
"But this bill does not look like the bill that many of us have supported, in fact. So of us may not recognize it. The harm caused by the ESA language in this bill far outweighs and will outlast the sections of the bill that actually help public schools," said Christy Rome with the Texas School Coalition.
"I really don't expect the Senate to try to wreck House Bill 100 with a voucher amendment," said state Rep. King.
